BERNE, Switzerland (Reuters) - Poland's co-hosting of Euro 2012 was no longer under immediate threat, European soccer's governing body UEFA said on Monday.

William Gaillard, special adviser to UEFA president Michel Platini, warned however that the row between the Polish government and world soccer's governing body FIFA had damaged relations between UEFA and the Polish authorities.

"We will, like FIFA, be monitoring the situation," Gaillard told Reuters after the Polish government came to an agreement with FIFA to end its administration of the Polish FA.

"There is no immediate threat to their hosting of Euro 2012. However a lot of trust has been lost and we need to see if they stick to their side of the agreement this time around."
